As part of next summer’s Olympic Games, Wembley will be hosting a series of football matches. There was a battle for many of the Olympic tickets when they went on sale, with many people ending up disappointed. However, football tickets won’t be available until later in the year, so you’re still in with a chance.
Should you be successful, you should make the most of a historic occasion by hiring a chauffeur driven car to take you to the ground and back. After all, the last time the Olympics were in the UK, Wembley saw 85,000 people descend on it. It was 1948 – the first Games after the war.
Great Britain won bronze in that year with the team being managed by Sir Matt Busby. In 2012, Stuart Pearce will coach the men and Hope Powell the women.
The rules for the men’s competition stipulate that players must be under-23 with three exceptions and there has been talk that David Beckham might be one of the three. A step removed from club rivalries these days, the midfielder can see how enticing it would be to compete in an Olympic games. It is a chance to be part of history for the players as well as the fans.
